Brownie Cupcakes

2007-04-30T16:08:00.000-07:00

See the original post here.

This time around, I just put them in little cupcake tins for portion control. The cooking time shortened to about 15 minutes.

They're so cute.

So instead of eating a piece of brownie, I ate two cupcakes at a time... which doesn't really work for portion control.

Best, Movie, Theatre, EVER

2007-04-29T09:13:00.000-07:00

It's official. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is a dream come true. An outdoor theater with food and BEER! It's the greatest ever!!!

Explore for yourself

We haven't been there yet because it's in Texas. But one day, we will head to Texas... just for this theater.

Mmmmmm

2007-04-22T16:26:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the lack of updates lately, but life has been hectic with my final defense, comp exam, certification exam and interviews coming up.

So here are our latest youtube/culinary amusement...

It's like "mmmm" "mmmm" "mmmm" ... "ugh" "mmm"

Is that a saw?
From the Clinton Station Diner?

Will be back when we can.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

2007-04-07T16:53:00.000-07:00

I have to admit to my obsession of Food Network during my college years. O the glory days of Iron Chef (the original Japanese version) and Mario Batali, how I miss you so. However, lately I find myself changing the channel because of shows like the semi-homemade hilarity. That aside, here is something (brought up by my brother and he has a good point) that always bothered me about Food Network:

On the food tourism shows like "$40 a Day", there is absolutely no food criticism.

Sure, I am open to the possibility that maybe Rachel Ray or her staff are just that good at finding hot spots... but what are the chances that they are always right? And, we never really get to see her finishing a meal after taking a few bits.

My beef with this is probably why I enjoy this new series...

From Wikipedia,
"Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a Channel 4 television program hosted by British celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay. In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence."

The guy curses all over the place and is really fun to watch. Apparently, there will be an American version of the show called "Kitchen Nightmare" starting this year.

Click here for Gordon Ramsay's homepage.

Lastly, Ramsay also hosts Hell's Kitchen, which I have not seen yet. I am planning to start after I catch up on this series...

Spring World Restaurant

2007-04-07T09:23:00.000-07:00

This restaurant serves Szechuan and Yunnan cuisine. I frequent this place with J or my family. In fact, this is the only restaurant in Chinatown that my youngest brother willingly eats at. However, if you cannot stand spicy or greasy food, I would suggest you to stay away.

2109 S China Pl
Chicago 60616
(312)326-9966
Information from Centerstage

Monday to Thursdays 11AM - 10PM
Saturday and Sunday 10AM - 10PM

My family mostly orders from the dinner menu. You should be aware that this restaurant does have a lunch menu on weekdays that is more affordable (ranges from $3 to $5 per set meals).

This is what I order when I'm with J:

Beef Fried Rice $5.95 - I usually tend to stay away from fried rice, but this isn't bad and J NEEDS this

Scallion Cake $3.95 - I usually stays away from this too, but J NEEDS this as well

Spicy Preserved Pork $8.95 - this place makes its own preserved pork and it's some pretty good stuff

Boiled Beef in Spicy Szechuan Sauce $8.95

Pork with Garlic Sauce and Napa with Dried Shrimp - this is a lunch set (our rice and soup came separately)

Other memorable items:

Across the Bridge Rice Noodles $ 6.95
Sea Bass Steak $14.95
Preserved Pepper Style Fish $12.95
Lam Stew & Fish w/ Sour Pickle Casserole $11.95
Chicken w/ Hot Pepper $ 8.95
Szechuan String Bean $ 6.95

There is plenty of other dishes that we haven't tried. In my opinion, this is one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in Chicago.

Return to Utica

2007-04-07T07:58:00.000-07:00

We ALWAYS start our day at the Beehive (see previous post).

Greek skillet! I was dreaming about this the night before... mmm...

After a bit of shopping and bumming around before check-in, we hung around at the Starved Rock Lodge. We didn't get to go out on the trails thanks to the heavy rain. So instead, we hung out at the back door lounge (aka BAR) before, during and after lunch. J loves their cherry cheesecake martinis and I usually enjoy the local draft beers. For lunch, J ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich on garlic buns (the daily special recommended by our cute waitress) and I ordered the fried grouper. Basically, lunch was great and we never expected any less. Afterwards, we fooled around the pool... and back to the bar! A warning about the long island ice tea though, it was the strongest I've ever had. The following are our dinner selections:

The Rock Pot Pie. J proclaimed this "the best chicken pot pie ever!" The fluffy pastry piece on top is super-fluffy.

Crispy Cajun Catfish. I couldn't believe that I ordered this for dinner after I had the fried grouper for lunch. The fried seafood here is just that good and I can't get enough. Both fish were incredibly fresh, and the seasonings were perfect. Even though they were fried, not greasy at all.

I'm not sure why we like eating in the bar area. Well, there's the alcohol, the view (of the river-ways of Starved Rock National Park, we always giggle at the people running inside from the rain), and the service (always friendly and efficient). Other items that we tried on other trips:

Sweet Potato Fries - nothing makes beer go down smoother

BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs - tender, finger-licking good

Pot Roast of Beef - average, the beef was a bit tough

Roast Turkey Platter - very comforting, reminds me of Thanksgiving without the chaotic cooking

See here for the complete menu. I think we are going to try the Buffalo Shepards Pie and Walleye Saute next time.

reviews

Monday to Sunday 11:30am - 9:30pm

The reviews on Centerstage were all positive and we were feeling adventurous this day. And, I forgot to bring the camera because I was starving and my brain ceases to function when I'm hungry.

When we first walked in, the waitress (the only one around) shot us the dirtiest look. There was only two other couples in the restaurant. A little unnerved, we sat down by the window and proceeded to order. First of all, the review said none of the entrees exceeded $10 which was absolutely wrong, because the special of the day was tender lamb shanks and costs close to $20. This was the first time I've been to a Middle Eastern styled restaurant so I was a bit overwhelmed and asked the waitress for advice. Other than the lamb shanks, she had no other suggestions and I was not in the mood for lamb. We ordered two appetizers in addition to our entrees. I can't remember what we ordered specifically because everything was bland. Even our hunger can't make the food taste good.

Was it because it was the restaurant's downtime (Saturday night around 6)? Did we order the wrong things (falafel and breek with beef)? Was it us? I have no idea, but it will be a while before I trust Centerstage for eatery advice again.

Lastly, the glimpse of the kitchen we caught from the cashier's desk looked like sanitation might be an issue.

UNSAVORY EXPERIENCE! Not coming back, ever.

India House

2007-03-30T06:39:00.000-07:00

1473 W Schaumburg Rd # 1521 (Cross Street: Ellington Drive)
Schaumburg, IL 60194
(847)895-5501

* Mon-Thu 11:30am-2:30pm, 5pm-10pm
* Fri 11:30am-2:30pm, 5pm-11pm
* Sat 12pm-3pm, 5pm-11pm
* Sun 12pm-3pm, 5pm-10pm

The buffets are available Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

India House was strongly recommended by my brother. The buffet is affordable and a great way to try various India dishes. Seating was prompt and the service was ok. The waitresses were nice, but seemed overwhelmed with clearing tables (which they did very efficiently). For more reviews, click here.

The meat was tender and flavorful.

Indian bread! We have such a thing for Indian bread.

Not knowing what most of the stuff was, I just grabbed random dishes. My favorite was the tandoori chicken which is laying on the rice.

J's plate.

This was the moment of the night. This restaurant has this table set up at the back end of the room. Seeing the little puff balls there, I got curious and inquired the waitress about them. She replied, "oh these? You just fill it with this sauce here and pop it into your mouth." To which I replied, "cool, let's try some." So I went back to the table and shared my findings with my brothers and J. Somehow, the guys thought I said that these puff balls were deserts so they got rather enthusiastic. We thought it would be cool to pop them into our mouths at the same time, kinda like downing shots. 1, 2, 3 and the looks on our faces were indescribable. I'm not going to say anything more about them here except that everyone should try it "FILL WITH SAUCE AND POP INTO MOUTH" as an initiation rite for this restaurant.

This place was fun. I think we will definitely be back.

Rizzata's redux

2007-03-30T06:23:00.000-07:00

See our original post here.

Last time we were rushed. This time, we were still rushed.

Deep dish pizza with pepperoni, italian beef and canadian bacon.

What makes Rizzata's pizza great is the cheese... see how cheesey it is? And it's also the tomato sauce, which always taste wonderfully fresh.

Calzone with italian beef and pepperoni. Again, their low-fat mozzarella cheese is sooo good.

We did try several other items, such as the BBQ beef sandwich and the sausage lasagna. However, the sandwich was just average and J did not like the lasagna.

So our advice is to stick with Rizzata's CALZONES. Best, calzones, EVER.

Pegasus redux

2007-03-19T14:46:00.000-07:00

See our original post here.

We didn't get quality photos of the entree during our last visit. So here's to making it up...

The food was great, as always. The only complaint that we would sometimes have is about the service. Sometimes, the service is great. Sometimes, you have to ask for the bread. We'll be back.... eventually, maybe.

Next up, the Parthenon.

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day

2007-03-19T06:29:00.000-07:00

This is Paula Deen's Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe. We've made this many times, and it's simple and tasty every single time. However, you must be warned, this recipe is not suitable for those with high blood pressure or coronary artery disease because of the butter and bacon.

This is the perfect celebratory meal for St. Pattie's Day. Bottoms up!

Fun with Slow Cookers

2007-03-18T05:19:00.002-07:00

We had a busy weekend.

First try - Beef and Beer Stew. We choose Guinness for the beer and the beef turned out very flavorful. The sides were creamed spinach and sweet potato fries, which provided nice contrasts to the meat.

Second try - Pork Barbecue. This came out really good too. We used Famous Dave's Sweet & Zesty BBQ sauce.

Asparagus is one of our favorite sides. This was sauteed with olive oil and a splash of vinegar.

The sides assembled. In addition to the asparagus, we had whole grain rice and macaroni salad.

The finished product

Mitsuwa

2007-03-18T05:19:00.001-07:00

Normally, we tend to avoid food courts like the plague. However, we were willing to make an exception for Mitsuwa. The food court has about 5 separate booths along with an ice cream stand and sushi bar. Out of the 5 booths, one stand served Korean fare, one stand served Chinese fare and three stands served Japanese fare. This day, J set his heart on ramen and I craved bibimbap.

100 E. Algonquin Road,
Arlington Hts., IL 60005
(847)956-6699
9:00AM - 8:00PM

Mitsuwa's liquor shop with a large selection of sake. It's too bad we aren't really into sake.

These food court displays are like window shopping, for food!

There was so much stuff to look at.

Today's special - juicy pork cutlet using top quality Berkshire for $8.95

Today's special - Mixed Vegetable Soba for $5.00

So many choices... still taking it all in.

It really took us a good long while to decide

In addition to the ramen, the small katsu-don set for $3.90 caught J's eyes.

I found my selection. Apparently, bibimbap in a stone bowl is called dol sot.

J's small ramen, which he enjoyed and reminded him of Naruto

My dol sot, I like the stone bowl because it keeps the food warm longer and makes the rice crunchy

My dol sot all mixed up

J's small katsu-don set as is

I rearranged it and opened the lid. He also liked this set with the exception of the egg on top of the katsu and the miso soup. The egg was runny and the miso was bland.

Overall, we quite enjoyed this experience.

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Q

2007-03-18T05:04:00.000-07:00

1101 East Dundee Road
Palatine, IL 60067

Phone: 847-202-2213
Fax: 847-202-2214

Once in a while, we just need BBQ! You've probably seen these places around. It's decent enough, I suppose.

Sauces! I have a thing with sauces and since Dave's has a nice selection, we visit often. Our favorite, this time around, was "Sweet & Zesty".

We were frakkin' starving. Wings for appetizer. It wasn't really anything special, but like I said, frakkin' starving!

Ribs, ribs, ribs sated our hunger. Although this time around, the ribs on the end were really dry and tough.

Not from Daves's... we finally got that table-top tripod!

It looks... silly, hopefully useful in the future endeavors.

We received a little constructive criticism. Apparently, our photos need more commentary... ... ... FINE!

Made-Over Deep Dish Brownies

2007-03-06T13:34:00.000-08:00

I got the recipe from here.

A little set-back today got me really, well, set-back, today. Nothing starts me back up like a little baking and sweets.

It didn't taste exactly like the brownies that I used to make with all the sugar, butter and eggs, but it wasn't bad. It tasted like chocolate-y bread, in a good way.

I really need to get that tripod from best buy. Having a little equipment malfuntion =/

Hawaii

2007-03-05T16:09:00.000-08:00

Again, I didn't actually get to go. Looking at these however, I'm just amazed at the selection of seafood available in Hawaii. Look! It looks so fresh and colorful... like the top quality produce that you see on cooking shows.

This is what my father ended up purchasing...

And this

And this too

The purchases were brought to a local restaurant to be cooked...

Don't you look familiar

Cooked with soybean paste

Veggie is good for you

Other misc photos from this trip

I love shrimp rolls

Can you tell my family has a thing for shrimps?

Shenzhen revisited

2007-03-05T15:50:00.000-08:00

More food photos from the family archive. The first two photos were actually in Dongguan.

There is something comforting about a bowl of well-cooked rice.

Taiwan revisited

2007-03-04T09:47:00.000-08:00

More photos from the family album...

Japan

2007-03-03T11:45:00.000-08:00

I didn't actually get to go to Japan. These photos were yoinked from my family photo album. All except the first, which was taken in Hakone, were taken in Tokyo. Feast, with your eyes!

Shanghai

2007-03-03T11:17:00.000-08:00

This was a Tibetian styled restaurant in Shanghai. Let the photos speak for themselves. That, and these photos were from at least four years ago.

Horse meat? One of these dishes was horse meat...

Kawaii desu?
With the exception of the gizzard soup, everything was delicious. The Tibetan flavors reminded me of those BBQ lamb skewers that we always get in Beijing. It's really too bad I can't find the name or location of this place again.

My kind of breakfast

2007-02-25T09:27:00.000-08:00

The best part of waking up, for me, is my dressed up instant noodles.

I find that this brand of instant noodle goes well with beef or pork.

I added hot sauce and napa along with the noodles. After a few minutes, added the egg and leftover fatty pork.

With cilantro

Sometimes with the addition of extra ingredients, the flavor gets diluted and so, I like to add some extra sauce to balance it out. The following are a few items from my sauce collection:

Ay-Chung is a present from my brother on his vacation in Taiwan. It is one of the most spicy, intense and flavorful sauces that I've encountered. I add about 1/4 teaspoon to my noodles. I dare not add more!

This hot soybean paste is good for dumplings and stir fries. It's not as spicy as Ay-Chung, but it's easier to obtain and I'm not as worried about killing my taste buds.

This chili garlice sauce you can get just about everywhere. It adds a lot of color, but isn't very spicy and nearly as flavorful as the hot soybean paste.

Satay sauce, good for hot pots and beef stir fries

I'm out of photos, for real, now.

BBQ Hut

2007-02-25T09:15:00.000-08:00

Located on the corner of Roselle and Golf Rd next to Denny's
Palatine, IL
Lunch starts at noon
Reservations accepted

We used to love this place for its veggie bar and reasonably priced meats. However, recently, they removed the veggie bar and had a little price hike. The quality of meat is still exceptional, but these little changes took away the comfort we've experienced at this restaurant. It'll be a long while before we go back. I miss the veggie bar...

So I wasn't done with my posting spree... it was because J found more photos!

Beehive Restaurant

2007-02-25T09:06:00.000-08:00

700 La Salle Street, Ottawa, IL 61350
Phone: 815.4335640
Fax: 815.4335659

"The Bee Hive family-style restaurant specializes in breakfast all day long and home and country style cooking. Breakfast contains an array of omlet options, as well as crepes, pancakes, skillet choices all day."

This is our favorite breakfast spot of all time. Every time we visit Starved Rock National Park, we eat all breakfasts here. J and I love the Greek skillet especially.

Greek skillet with gyro, green peppers, onion, potato and feta cheese

Blueberry crepes with whipped cream

Shenzhen

2007-02-25T07:59:00.000-08:00

I am at the end of my posting spree of old travel photos, for now. There are still older archives with potential shockers that I've yet to access. Until then... I bid thee adieu.

This is what the company executives have for lunch at one of the factories we visited.

The food tasted better than it looked.

Not sure if these are edible, we just thought they looked adorable.

Breakfast, these hé fěn were made-on-the-spot goodness that came in a variety of flavors.

Congee

Yep, very spicy

These salty fried shrimps were amazing. They tasted like a cross between lobster and shrimp.

Peking duck

Yum

Clam meat and rice vermicelli

Crab soup

This was from Fatman (or Fattie) Chang's Noodle Shop. Although the place looks a tad shady, they do serve the best hand-made noodles ever.

There isn't too many choices on the menu, but not once has this place disappointed us.

This noodle shop is the primary reason that we always stop by Shenzhen.

Guilin

2007-02-25T07:45:00.000-08:00

Besides the first photo show below, this was from an unnamed (since I can't remember where it was or what it was called) restaurant in Guilin, China.

In our quest to discover local cuisine, we were not afraid to step into restaurants that were a little bit on the shady side. This was a little breakfast stand that our taxi drivers recommended. Each bowl of plain noodle costs $0.25 US and you can add your own choice of ingredients. There is also a soup base that you can choose that's not shown in the photo above. I went for the pickled radishes, pickled beans, green onion and, of course, hot peppers.

These shrimps were tiny. When eating shrimps this tiny, I often weigh the efforts spent peeling against how much meat is obtained and the tastiness of the meat. In this case, too much effort for too little return.

Pickled veggies and intestines

Mushrooms, bak choy and eggplant?

Eggplant or fish? It was 3 years ago... my memory has failed me.

Fatty pork

Catfish, does it look like a pain in the ass to eat? Because it is a pain in the ass to eat.

Guangzhou

2007-02-24T17:33:00.000-08:00

I don't remember what the restaurant was called or where it was... shame on me. The food looked better than it tasted, except for the yellow bread thingie.

The bread was a little thinner than the Chinese breakfast style onion pancakes and almost resembles Indian bread.

Turtle stew, if you look closely, you may find a feet.

Eel stew

Fatty pork

Lijiang

2007-02-24T14:22:00.000-08:00

A few photos of the food we found in Lijiang, China.

Across the bridge rice noodles in its ready for consumption state.

Local banquet and a must-try according to the tour books. The meal is about $3 US per person and comes with everything you see here. Personally, I had more fun poking and studying the banquet than eating.

The spicy black cake of jello-consistency inspired indigestion. And yes, that is fried dragonflies on the top right corner.

Another view of the local banquet

Steam pot chicken (Qiguoji)

According to a tour website:
"Steam Pot Chicken (Qiguoji)
Yunnanese is the ceramic steam pot, a squat, round, lidded vessel with an internal spout, or chimmney, that allows steam to enter and circulate but not escape. Chicken cooked by this technique produces a superior soup entirely from steam and natural juices. This dish, called steam Pot Chicken ( qiguoji) comes first on the list of Yunnan's specialities. A remarkable feature, which should not put anybody off, is the inclusion of natural medicinal ingredients used by the Chinese both to enhance flavour and to promote health. These might include ginseng, herbs or dried Himalayan caterpillars. "

Hmmm...

Across the Bridge Rice Noodle

2007-02-24T13:20:00.000-08:00

Also known as "Guo-Qiao Mi-Xian", a specialty and must-have when visiting the province of Yunnan.

Excerpt from a travel blog:
"Legend has it that guoqiao mixian came about when a young scholar retreated to another place to prepare for the imperial examination. His loving wife would travel and cross a nearby bridge to bring him his daily meal. Frequently, his meal would turned cold by the time it gets to him. One day, quite by chance, she discovered a bowl of chicken soup could keep warm with a layer of oil on top. From the on, she would serve the noodles and meat slices with the oil layer soup and the young scholar could enjoy a warm meal every day. When the scholar did well in the examination, he credited his success to his wife's noodles hence, this dish Across the Bridge Rice Noodles was popularized."

This is a chain store that sells primarily these rice noodles and a few side dishes. My family and I have eaten here quite a few times. The prices are fair and the quality is reliable.

Take a peek inside

This set meal is $0.75 US

This more elaborate set meal is $1.25 US

Ingredients

The idea is to throw all the ingredients and noodles into the boiling hot soup. Ready for consumption after a few minutes.

Dali

2007-02-24T09:38:00.000-08:00

These photos are from our visit to Dali a couple years ago. From our sources, apparently the local specialties are the smoked hams and the wide variety of mushrooms. The hams are often used to flavor soups, and I have to admit, these soups were tasty. The mushrooms are... mushrooms! I love mushrooms.

Don't remember which restaurant this was =/

Some kind of pastry/cheese thing that the tour books described as a local delicacy. We saw this stuff everywhere, but they were not pleasing to my palate. Maybe we got a bad batch? It was hard, crunchy and dry.

Snails up close

The mushroom soup was tasty.

This soup was also tasty although the chicken parts did put some of our companions off. The black boned chicken is also a delicacy and is supposed to have some medicinal effects... just don't ask me what they are.

Fatty pork with pickled plums

We were in this pizza shindig that had a cool upstairs parlor. Of the few days that we were in Dali, we were at this joint almost every night. The above shows the local beers and spirits. The "Love & Rose" and silver label were amazing. In fact, these two beers are what started me on beer in the first place. Did I mention I love beer, now? The plum wine was also good, but the pineapple beer left some things to be desired.

Taiwan nostalgia

2007-02-23T17:49:00.000-08:00

I have traveled on various occasion to Taiwan with my family. My family is always passionate about food, but we rarely used to document our tasty travels. Here is the few photos that I scrounged up:

Bounty from the nearby bakery...

I just love the bakeries there.

This is a childhood favorite of mine.

My favorite Fu Long lunch box. They go for about $2 US each and are the perfect size for my apetite.

Take a look inside... every ingredient complements each other perfectly. The food reheats nicely too. I once bought enough of these to last me two days through a hurricane and lemme tell ya, it was quite an experience.

See the veggie layer underneath the meaty layer? Too bad you can't see the rice underneath, because it is cooked to perfection.

Our most frequented night market, because it's close by.

I am not quite sure what type of shrimp this is. We got it at one of the numerous seafood stand that cooks FRESH (right off the fishing boats) seafood for you.

Another type of yummy, unnamed shrimp. We ate most of its friends... and lastly, this little guy here as well.

Pegasus

2007-02-23T05:30:00.000-08:00

This marks our 2nd post! I should have introduced both myself and J in the previous post, our FIRST post EVER, but it was late and I was hungry. For me, hungry = unfocused and cranky as J can attest to.

We actually hit up this joint last month... the PEGASUS. We both ordered our usual for lunch - the Athenian which is $17.95 for each person. It's more than enough food for the both of us, and we love the variety.

Saganaki- Kefalograviera cheese flambe
Always a sinful pleasure.

A closer look at the cheese flambe

Greek salad and Tarmosalata, a smooth whipped fish roe spread. J is usually very picky about vegetables, but he came very close to finishing his salad because of the dressing. Both of us were not fond of the tarmosalata.

The main course, composed of Spanakopita (spinach cheese pie), Pastitsio (baked macoaroni, ground meat with Bechamel sauce), Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves with egg and lemon sauce), Mousakas (eggplant, zucchini and ground meat with Bechamel sauce), potato and rice pilaf. We love the entire plate, the combination of foods.

A different angle and closer look so you can see the potato.

Desert - Baklavas (layers of fillo dough with walnuts, cinnamon and honey), Galaktoboureko (lemon custard in fillo dough with light honey syrup) and coffee

Desert, close-up

J and I are very devoted to Greek food. That being said, I feel like these photos don't do the food justice. We do plan on heading back for lunch. When we do, more improved photos to come.

Rizzata's

2007-02-22T19:04:00.000-08:00

It's Chicago. It's deep dish pizza. It's Rizzata's.

We order from Rizzata's frequently. More appetizing and detailed photos to come later. We were too hungry this time to take more than two photos before we dug in...

The pizza shown above is stuffed. You may ask, what is the difference between stuffed and pan? Stuffed is when the cheese is underneath the sauce and pan is when the cheese is on top. Rizzata's pizza is appetizing, but not as amazing as their calzones. Mmmm... calzones...

Like I said, more later when we're not hungry.

J: "I heart pizza."
